The requirement covers playground equipment, including swings, playground swings, climbing apparatus, slides, seesaws and tunnels. The project responds to a public consultation that identified concerns about safety, accessibility, equipment suitability and the overall quality of the play environment. The council is seeking a supplier able to improve the play area through suitable refurbishment works and equipment provision. The procurement is categorised as works, with the equipment scope centred on children’s outdoor play facilities. The consultation included responses from 21 households and child-friendly questionnaires completed through Surlingham School, providing the direction for the refurbishment priorities. This procurement has reached tender: Surlingham Parish Council invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline set for tenders is 12 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 1 April 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000. The procurement is intended to be accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract concerns one refurbishment requirement rather than separately described lots. The published requirement is driven by consultation findings on safety, accessibility, equipment suitability and the quality of the play environment. Those priorities indicate the practical outcomes sought, alongside the specified provision of playground equipment such as swings, climbing apparatus, slides, seesaws and tunnels. This opportunity suits playground equipment manufacturers, suppliers, installers and refurbishment contractors with experience delivering outdoor play facilities. Relevant capability includes assessing existing play areas, supplying suitable play equipment and carrying out associated refurbishment works. Suppliers should be able to address practical safety and accessibility needs, select equipment appropriate for children, and deliver a coherent improvement to the overall play environment. Experience with swings, climbing apparatus, slides, seesaws, tunnels or similar playground installations is directly relevant. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit specialist local firms as well as established playground contractors. Businesses able to combine equipment supply with site-based works are likely to be well placed to compete. ## Notice Surlingham Parish Council conducted a public consultation in April 2026 to gather views on the condition and future development of Surlingham Play Area. The consultation was promoted through multiple village channels and received responses from 21 households, plus two child friendly questionnaires via Surlingham School. Although participation was modest, the feedback provides clear and consistent direction for refurbishment priorities. The findings highlight concerns around safety, accessibility, equipment suitability, and the overall quality of the play environment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/598524db-f6a5-4ec1-841c-15a5ae5964f6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2027 - 1 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Surlingham Parish Council | | Locality | NORWICH | | Postcode area | Norwich | | Postcode | NR14 7JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH53 Breckland and South Norfolk | | Local authority | South Norfolk | | Electoral ward | Poringland, Framinghams & Trowse | | Westminster constituency | South Norfolk | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535100 - Swings - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535210 - Playground swings - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 37535240 - Playground slides - 37535250 - Playground see saws - 37535260 - Playground tunnels ## Release History - 15 Sep 2026 at 11:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/598524db-f6a5-4ec1-841c-15a5ae5964f6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/598524db-f6a5-4ec1-841c-15a5ae5964f6 15th September 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b6ad0f64-ab0b-4658-9574-1de8051f18cb - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d6be15f1-b967-4a1e-8a9e-3f58150a75e7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b8b4f904-6809-41b6-b543-76cb6ef1655d ## Notice URLs - http://www.surlingham-pc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
